Hmm. Well, I like the front fascia better, but I'm personally not in love with the thing (whereas, bizarrely, I found myself actually liking the new Mustang... not enough to get one, mind you...).

But it does sound improved over the previous iteration, and I can definitely see the appeal in that big V8!

Well, if you are in the enviable position of getting two great cars or one awesome car sounds like either way you'll be grinning ear to ear
If i go this route? My beauty queen will be my Z35 (hopefully?). I will go for Mad Max appeal on my Camaro. lol So it doesn't have to be a beauty queen. The older Nurburgring testing vids of 6 months ago really, really amazed me. There was no ROLL WHATSOEVER IN THE CORNERS. It seriously had Porsche characteristics on the ring. Not saying it can compare in reality. But the visual rigidity was amazing for that size of car.

Hey, I've been at this thread for months now... This was a really exciting car for me to follow. Honestly, I had low expectations of the Camaro 6 in terms of looks. But my gut told me, that the Camaro 6 performance would be unstoppable and had high hopes for the interior. So far, on paper stats and sneak peak vids on track seem like my gut feeling is true.

I would like to have seen more drama in the style but find it to be a visual improvement and am happy with it.

I'm going to be folowing the Camaro in terms of reviews, comparos and impressions. I'm not going to be as tied into it though... I just want to thank everyone who followed along and contributed their thoughts and opinions to the thread. Today was a great day in automotive history. The camaro still not a jewel in the looks department. It's still a performance icon and must say that Chevy and Ford both have worked hard to make a fun and competetive rivalry. Enjoy the new camaro while luvn it or H8n it.

Things I notice about the camaro/corvette
1. DRM Nissan inspiration
2. Camaro hood Nissan GTR inspiration.
3. If you look at the seats on the 6? It's closer to the floor. I think it will be lower.
4. Liking the digital display on the dash and gauges.
5. Lighting looks to be highest quality of all muscle cars.
6. Internal ambient lighting looks amazing. Dying to see car show mode.
7. Manual shifter is as beautiful as mustangs. Both cars knocked the shifter out the box.
8. Interior quality look great
9. Paint schemes first impression looks high quality
10. I think the 270hp turbo will be faster than Fords 310hp ECOboost by a large margin? The v6 almost sounds like an exotic car. I'm so impressed with that...

Good job Chevy

This looks like the current gen with smoother edges. From a looks standpoint I think the Mustang blows it away.

With this new interior and new updates, Nissan engineers should really step it up with the upcoming Z35.

I find GM interiors better on paper than in person. They photograph well but feel cheap in person. Because I travel every week I've driven just about every mainstream GM and Ford (most are very well equipped), and in my opinion, car for car, Ford is better.

Lol. I guess there's one area where it possibly excels. When are you buying one? You seem in love.
